Overview of the business
In a situation where the environment surrounding universities is changing rapidly, the management and operation of universities has come to occupy an important position, and the role of university staff is becoming very large. In order to adapt to such an environment, we are developing various projects to improve the qualifications of university staff, including management and operation, education and research support.
In the SD Workshop, through discussions with "colleagues from other companies in the same industry (staff from other universities)," new discoveries, deep awareness, and human exchange networks that cannot be obtained through lectures are created.

| Overview | Recently, excessive demands and excessive expectations for schools (including universities) from parents and the community have become a hot topic in newspapers and on television. Depending on the response, faculty and staff may experience physical and mental fatigue and hindrance to work, contributing to the busyness of work. In this workshop, we would like to think together about communication of complaint handling by faculty and staff with examples of responses by participants (if possible, please be prepared to present examples of complaint handling that have occurred at your university). I would like to talk about case studies.) |

| Overview | Japan's population continues to decline, and the need for regional revitalization is being called for. This is by no means irrelevant to universities, but rather how to interact with local communities and Japan society based on such historical backgrounds is considered to be an extremely important issue. What is regional revitalization and what is happening in Japan right now? In this context, what direction will higher education take? What is the role of the university? I would like to think about it together, including my experience of being seconded to the Cabinet Secretariat's Headquarters for Towns, People, and Job Revitalization. |

| Overview | Are you about to get married to work? In fact, "career" is not limited to work, but refers to the way of life itself. American psychologist D.E. Supermarket defines career as a variety of roles at certain ages and scenes in life, and the roles of "professional," "leisure enjoyer," and "homemaker" are represented by a rainbow-like gradation. In this workshop, you will experience a discussion technique called "World Cafe". Through interaction among participants, we aim to reconsider their own "careers." What color "carrier" do you draw? ※Click here to download the 3rd flyer |

At the workshop, after introducing the instructors, Mr. Banno provided topics such as what types of complaints exist and how to respond to them, based on his extensive experience at elementary schools and the Board of Education.
Complaints can be divided into four types: realistic type, distorted understanding, difficult to solve, and excessive demand, and it was pointed out that it is important to respond calmly and without panic even if the other party raises his or her voice. In addition, specific points for responding to complaints were explained, such as responding systematically, taking specific records (notes), and understanding legal knowledge.
In the second half, participants talked about the reasons for participating in this training and cases of complaints, and all participants exchanged information and had discussions. Participants commented very well, such as "It was very good to be able to not only give lectures but also present case studies and exchange opinions from other universities," and "It was very easy to understand and interesting, and it was informative."

・Group work
At the workshop, after introducing the lecturers, Mr. Hasegawa talked about trends in higher education policy and regional revitalization, including his experience of being seconded to the Cabinet Secretariat's Headquarters for Town, People, and Job Revitalization.
As the 18-year-old population continues to decline and the current number of universities will eventually become unsustainable, it was stated that it is important for each university to survive by reorganizing or merging, or to find a new role such as attracting working students and international students.
In the second half, the participants were divided into groups and worked on the theme of "What role should universities play in the declining population?", and then each group gave a presentation. Participants commented, "I was able to learn about regional revitalization and higher education administration very helpful and enjoyed participating," and "I was able to learn about how universities can make choices and survive in the inevitable situation of population decline."
